<para>To configure <application><acronym>RP</acronym>-<acronym>PPPoE</acronym>
</application> after installation, you should run the <command>adsl-setup
</command> script.</para>
<para>When configuring your connection, you will need to have your
<acronym>ISP</acronym>'s nameserver information available, as well as your
username and password. You will also be asked whether to configure a
dial-on-demand or a constant connection. If your service provider does not
charge by the minute, it is usually good to have a bootscript handle the
connection for you. You can, of course, choose not to install the
following script, and start your connection manually with the
<command>adsl-start</command> script.</para>
<para><emphasis>Optionally</emphasis> install the
<filename>/etc/sysconfig/network-devices/services/pppoe</filename> service
script included with the <xref linkend="intro-important-bootscripts"/>
package.</para>
<screen><userinput><command>make install-service-pppoe</command></userinput></screen>
<para>Now create the config file for use with the <filename>pppoe</filename>
service script:</para>
<screen><userinput><command>cat &gt; /etc/sysconfig/network-devices/ifconfig.pppoe &lt;&lt; "EOF"</command>
ONBOOT=yes
SERVICE=pppoe
<command>EOF</command></userinput></screen>
<para>Also, if you had previously configured the network interface that will now
use <acronym>PPPoE</acronym>, you should remove the interface configuration
files for that interface:
<filename>/etc/sysconfig/network-devices/ifconfig.eth&lt;X&gt;
</filename>.</para>
